Food Mills and Ricers
The Secret to Unmatched Texture: Food Mills & Ricers
For a truly velvety purée or the lightest, fluffiest mashed potatoes, the electric food processor is often the enemy. It overworks ingredients, turning potatoes gluey and textures inconsistent. This is where food mills and ricers demonstrate their timeless superiority, giving you manual control for a perfect result.
The food ricer is the specialist for potatoes, gnocchi, and spätzle. It gently presses cooked ingredients through fine holes, creating airy, delicate strands that result in a perfectly smooth, lump-free mash without developing unwanted starches. For greater versatility, the food mill is the ultimate workhorse. As you turn the crank, it purees soft foods while simultaneously separating unwanted skins and seeds—the professional's secret to the smoothest applesauce, silky tomato purées, and rustic vegetable soups.

Norpro Deluxe Jumbo Potato Ricer
A ricer makes the smoothest mashed potatoes because it presses cooked potato through small holes, which breaks it up gently and keeps the texture from turning gluey. Norpro’s Deluxe Jumbo Ricer holds 3 cups at a time in an extra-large hopper perforated on all four sides, which moves a holiday batch along much faster than a small ricer.The body is cast aluminum, the hopper is stainless steel, and rubber insets in the handles give a secure grip. Rest hooks on the end hold it steady on the rim of a pot or bowl. Norpro notes that potatoes can go in peeled or unpeeled; the skins stay behind in the hopper. The large hopper takes cooked potatoes whole or halved.The ricer also makes gnocchi and spaetzle, purees applesauce and carrots, and squeezes water out of grated potatoes for crisp hash browns. For chunkier mashed potatoes, the Krona potato masher is the simpler tool. Customers planning Thanksgiving pair the two with a gravy separator. Learn More$59.95
